His game is still limited, but I could see that. He has two things that I'm sure all scouts like, which are freak athleticism and making big plays. He's a pretty good passer and seems to be able to find holes when moving without the ball.

The main thing missing is just the ability to consistently create his own shot.

Texas Tech has that "bring your hard hat and lunch pale" type game, combined with great athletes, which usually translates well in the tournament. But they were given practically two home games, so I'm just wondering if their game will travel to Boston where they're going to play tougher teams that are all in the Northeast.

X's and O's aside, at some point the pressure of being the first one seed to ever lose in the first round was going to be too much for a team to handle. I figured it would happen to a team like UVA who gets by on great coaching, system, and upperclassmen who play smart, but aren't the most physically gifted. Their margin of error isn't as great, and they are likely to press the more the game goes on and stays tight.

When a team in that position doesn't have the tremendous advantage in talent and athleticism, there's a shot because the 16 seed is playing with nothing to lose and the 1 seed has immense pressure on them.

Teams like Kentucky or UNC are never going to lose as a one seed because that usually means they have multiple lottery picks that the 16 seeds just physically can't matchup against. Top teams with Tyler Hansborough, Anthony Davis, etc are never going to lose to UMBC no matter how much pressure there is

I guess there's no sense in arguing endlessly since we'll never know, but that UK team was a lot different than most "one-and-done" teams. They had chemistry beyond their years, which in big part was due to MKG being the guy that did the dirty work. Most highly touted freshmen just want to put on a show for a year before they leave but he was the necessary glue guy that most these teams miss.

Also, Hansbrough was one of the most accomplished college players in the last 20 years, but he had his hands full with Blake Griffin in the tourney. I don't think he would've fared any better against Anthony Davis, but the difference is that UK had a multitude of other great players on the team whereas nobody else on OU even came to play in that game.

Only going since 2000 or so, the 2014 UConn team is my pick for worst.

As for the best, I'll barely give the edge to 2012 UK over 2009 UNC. Just from the eye test, they were the best team I've seen assembled during that time frame. Looking back at their results that year, I'm actually surprised that they didn't have that many blowouts.

But, they were a team that nobody would be able to stop no matter what. They just didn't have any weaknesses anywhere.
